Just before the month of August ended, wildlife and landscape photographer Julius Paner captured sightings of several migratory birds that flock in the barangays of Tuban and Tagabuli in Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. Davao region’s mudflats are one of the areas in the Philippines that serve as the avian migrants’ flyways as they disperse from their country of origin. When seasonal changes occur such as wintertime, food may become scarce which leads these birds to temporarily move to warmer places where food is more abundant. Their choice of place is also where they breed and raise their young. Avian migrants are the Philippines' frequent visitors which affirm that the country’s weather is comfortable for them and its environment is healthy and is conducive for living. These birds, though visitors, are protected under the provisions of RA 9147 or Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act. Hunting, killing or collecting these birds are punishable by law. #MigratoryBirds #Wildlife Images: © Julius Paner of Sta. Cruz Tourism Office

Upland farmers of the Bubongon Treeplanters Association, Inc. who are also beneficiaries of the DENR's National Greening Program (NGP) flaunt their 2 and 3-year old bamboo plantations in Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte. Like all other forest trees, bamboo has enourmous benefits in environmental protection. It is sustainable, durable and is considered an eco-friendly alternative to other construction materials. In fact, it has been tagged as the "green steel". Bamboo as a commodity was first introduced to the said NGP beneficiaries in 2017 wherein their organization was granted with 30-hectare plantation area and an additional 4 hectares in 2018. The DENR has also partnered with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to help the beneficiaries in manufacturing and marketing their products come harvest time. #NGP #Bamboo
